PRESENTATION OF THE
LESSON
Ball - zero potential energy
 But it gains kinetic energy as its
speed increases.
 slowly decreases due to gravity.
 It becomes zero when the ball
stops in mid air.

motion.
 The work required for accelerating the
object of a certain mass, from the state of
rest to motion.
 The energy transferred is called kinetic
energy, determined by speed and mass of
the object, i.e. the greater the mass and
speed, the more kinetic energy it contains.
 POTENTIAL ENERGY

 Potential energy ~ the stored

energy in an object or system.
 The energy is stored within the
physical body, due to overcoming
forces of nature.
 Interconversion of Kinetic and
Potential Energy

 The law of conservation of energy

states that energy cannot be
destroyed but can only be
transformed from one form into
another.
KINETIC ENERGY

KE = m • v2
2
where m = mass of object
v = speed of object
1 Joule = 1 kg • m2/s2
For example:
m = 50 kg
v = 8.5 m/s

KE = m • v2
2
= 50 kg (8.5 m/s)2
2
= 25 kg (72.25 m2/s2)
= 1, 806.25 kg •m2/s2 or 1, 806.25 J
Try to solve; m = 150 kg and v = 5.2 m/s
KE = m • v2
2
= 150 kg (5.2 m/s)2
2
= 75 kg (27.04 m2/s2)
= 2,028 kg •m2/s2 or 2,028 J
 POTENTIAL ENERGY

PEgrav = mass • gravity • height

PEgrav = m • g • h

Example:
m = 3 kg
g = 9.8 m/s2
h = 0.45 m
PEgrav = m • g • h

PE = (3 kg ) * (9.8 m/s2) * (0.45 m)

PE = 13.23 J
 Try to solve; m = 5 kg, g = 9.8 m/s2
and h = 0.5 m

PEgrav = m • g • h
PE = (5 kg ) * (9.8 m/s2) * (0.5 m)
PE = 24.5 J
